| How to Unlock Adobe Premiere CS5 to use almost any NVIDIA graphics card with CUDA acceleration. Posted: 30 Jun 2010 12:41 AM PDT
 Adobe Premiere CS5 was release with the new Mercury Playback Engine (MPE) that can use a video card's GPU to accelerate playback, effects and rendering. That is, assuming you have an Adobe "certified" NVIDIA video card. For some reason, Adobe has only "certified" a few of the high end video cards from NVIDIA. When you install Premiere CS5 and it doesn't find one of the "certified" video cards, the Mercury Playback Engine is set to run in "software mode", using only the computer's CPU and not the video card's GPU. CHECK OUT The way to unlock Premiere CS5 so the Mercury Playback Engine can use the GPU on virtually any of the newer NVIDIA video card Related links: studio1productions.com  |

| Fusion 6.1 is now available for shipping Posted: 29 Jun 2010 09:25 PM PDT
 eyeon software reveals Fusion 6.1, its newest compositing application which includes OpenCL GPU acceleration. Toronto: June 28, 2010… eyeon Software announced today the release of their latest version of Fusion's new Supercomputing compositing software for Linux and Windows. eyeon Software has always been keenly responsive in developing their software based on industry and artist demands. For years, facilities have been trying to solve demanding production requirements by brute force and many assets. It is clear that eyeon's newest artist-driven approach to production yields far more benefits than have to date been realized. Facilities will no longer need to endure complex translations and data wrangling between pipeline departments; on-board tools now allow artists to complete shots themselves rather than continually farming the shots out. This new methodology generates a better synergy between departments, providing a more collaborative environment with unprecedented speed, which is soon to become the industry norm. Fusion 6.1's extensive supercomputing approach utilizes the powerful, low-cost GPU to create assets and layers in real time. The extensive tool set that imports scenes from 3D animation packages allows for a much tighter integrated workflow between departments and applications. This open flexibility also increases industry support for technologies such as RenderMan and RED Camera MYSTERIUM X. Relighting and sophisticated finishing offer more control and transparent collaboration between the compositing artists. OpenCL supercomputing is a fresh and innovative use of today's massively parallel GPU. By speeding up computationally extensive operations such as Defocus, Fusion 6.1 allows the artist to instantly visualize sophisticated mathematical operations that compile code on-the-fly for use by the new generation graphics cards. "We've been relying on Fusion for all of our compositing work. With 6.1 and ROI, we have been able to go through material much faster than before. The added 3D capabilities have allowed us to make a lot of modifications to a shot inside of Fusion, instead of having to go back into the 3D package for additional passes." ~ Oliver Hotz, Origami Digital, LLC Open thinking Fusion 6.1 answers all production trends. Some of the new features include: · OpenCL GPU Supercomputing eyeon is also pleased to announce that Rotation is on the new Fusion 6.1 architecture. A full feature update of Vision will be available once Fusion 6.1 upgrades and subscription renewals are well underway.
